Toronto Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

[Northern Light]

I remember seeing a 2025-2027 cycling network plan going past union. would be interesting to see the design for it. Not like theres much room right in front of union

The primary focus for east-west cycling in the area is the Wellington corridor for now. That doesn't preclude a Front Street option, but it's a lesser priority. Though, I should add, still on the radar.

I don't spend much time at UT posting guesses.

I am primarily a cyclist/pedestrian but it would be pretty hard to close Front between Bay and York as vehicles cannot (or should not!) use King and they DO need to go somewhere. Richmond/Adelaide are too far north and Lake Shore is too far south.

Obviously we should ban cars in the entire core, but until we do, we can’t ban them on front.

No, but we can make Front one-way eastbound, while keeping Wellington as one-way westbound. Then there's equal capacity in both directions.

Once the USEP is finished couldn't they move all taxis and Uber pickups to Union Plaza?

There was talk of this several years ago and it certainly sounds very worth looking at once (if!) USEP is ever finished.

This is the lineup for roller skating in the west moat. Great to see Union coming into its own. Taken 26 January.

I was really surprised how popular it was. To me it looks busier than the outdoor skating rink was. I wonder how the actual numbers compare.

It should really be a year-round thing, there’s clearly demand and interest for it

Here’s a new sports merch store pop-up, probably super popular during leafs games

The whole thing is done for free from TD so I doubt they're interested in running it year-round.

Interesting marketing strategy:

Same. I had to read it a few times to make sure I didn't let my imagination get the best of me.
